i think on both in a two horse race wall street picks up the bill as obama and romney burned through hundreds of millions of dollars hoping to buy a friend in the future president. russia's foreign minister calls on the country's foreign partners to step up efforts to end the syrian conflict and take responsibility for whom they support just after talks with the un a special envoy lakhdar brahimi right here in moscow. plans for a mosque in london see even some muslims in opposition they fear the real goal of the group behind the project is to inside radical ideas in the community.

world news live from moscow this is our t.v. with me wrong. though a hurricane sandy is still only just approaching the u.s. it's already wreaking havoc in the presidential race candidates have been forced to flee its path and abandon campaign events in the area but in the meantime i hear it out see we are continuing our special coverage of the most expensive election in u.s. history and. reports now on where all that money is pouring in from. as our tees up close u.s. ally action coverage continues this week we turn our attention to domestic issues concerning voters now u.s. presidents have the stork we refer to in their eyes an exceptional nation a land of opportunity where one can work hard and over time climb the proverbial economic ladder but one year ago that myth was. boston when occupy wall street

activists camped out here in zuccotti park igniting the nationwide grassroots movement protesting corporate greed wealth inequality and middle class today the fact is the u.s. gap between rich and poor has never been wider and unprecedented amount of americans are sliding down the proverbial ladder while the top one percent earn an average annual income of twenty four million dollars to bet on both horses running in the nation's biggest political race. it's the most expensive political playoff in u.s. history a competition for the country's most powerful position one of the things i suspect governor romney and i probably agree on is let's come back to something the president i agree on no matter who wins the two thousand and twelve election. america's ninety nine percent movement will be left with

a one percent president regardless of who we vote for wall street wins i mean that's really one of the main messages is that when we're we're casting about we see that we have these corporations giving so much money to candidates and they can't be objective when it comes to the interests of the vast majority. of voters loving industries that ignited america's economic crisis real estate collapse job hemorrhage and foreclosure epidemic. is also on track to break campaign donation records for the two thousand and twelve presidential election each election cycle each four years that cost significantly more they did four years ago so running for president united states is now a half a billion dollar undertaking you need half a billion dollars to credibly run for the president of united states and you're going to raise that from large corporations and wealthy individuals in the case of mitt romney wealth attracts wealth the republican candidate has a reported net worth of two hundred million dollars and according to the center for us. spawn's of politics the top eight financial contributors to romney's campaign

are wall street banks with employees from goldman sachs bank of america and morgan stanley rounding out the top three. this is the by the homeowner changes come to america. in two thousand and eight became the largest beneficiary of wall street backing in u.s. election history. receiving more than forty two million dollars from the finance insurance and real estate sectors it's hard to believe that smart rational guys and big companies with huge research departments and realize his standing in the society are going to give that much money and expect nothing in return so their donation is probably not a charity since becoming president obama's justice department hasn't prosecuted one person in connection to the two thousand and eight financial collapse on the other hand top executives from j.p. morgan chase citigroup and general electric were recruited to work in the white house while we have cemented into place is

a system of legalized bribery public elected officials are now since corporate employees you know the flagrant sort of corruption the ability of this small group of patients class of corporate oligarchy to write the laws write the legislation create a two tiered system this ultimately is going to implode according to a two thousand and twelve harris poll the majority of americans see wall street executives as dishonest and overpaid with an overwhelming amount of citizens in support of tougher regulation. and overhaul the occupy wall street movement began championing last year as millions of americans flooded the streets every day thousands facing brutal arrests. to protest wall street greed economic inequality and corporate influence over u.s. politics there are a lot. election day draws near the occupy activists say both candidates have pander

to their financial donors and successfully ignored the biggest american grassroots movement to be seen in decades we see little difference between the two parties they're both basically imperialist parties and i think that one thing that i can really do is expose how the democratic system as we have it right now is basically a sham the political system is so broken in so many ways that the reason that we continue to come out in the streets and raise you know ring the alarm bells around economic injustice and economic situation in our country is because you know people aren't doing their job millions of americans will soon be heading to the polls lacking support for either major candidate but voting against the one they liked least however with wall street successfully cementing strong ties to both presidential runners some may wonder if the winner of this election has already been declared hurry up or not i r t v our. coverage of the u.s.

presidential campaign will continue on air and online are ultimately exploring some of the most overlooked outright ignored aspects of the race all the way up to the election will be exploring america's domestic policies and challengers and if you can't do stay with us ahead of the part. what lies ahead for action will the movement mobilize calls for a new america who stands for the going to nine percent to a selection of clothes go. to the twenty ninth. now shifting our attention to that of london where an islamic group has intensified its bids to build europe's largest mosque in the eastern side of the city that will be right next to the olympic site . is often described as a separatist sect and two of the seventh of july bombers are believed to have prayed in their places of worship. now investigates whether or not there's any

ground for concern. four times bigger than some paul's cathedral a mega mosque that will fit ten thousand people and it could be coming to london's east end if it gets the go ahead it's built the river in center will be the same size as london's looming but it's a power station it would also be the biggest place of worship in the u.k. of any religion but critics have slammed the proposal saying that it would create a muslim dancer in the forces that are still working to bring the largest mosque the u.k. has ever seen in to reality where of it architects planning consultants and glitzy p.r. teams all paid for by the organization behind the idea to bleach each amount a group that's causing significant concern they teach that if you want a good muslim you must separate off from non muslim it only took a huge amount of all it started over there is only to beat him out of all the

islamic groups has created ghettos over in toronto you know in canada you go across the philippines and see what they've done the philippines you're right there around the world is a huge group and wherever they go they create barriers they create hostility they create division they create separatism with its unassuming name the riverine centers website claims there's a demand for a new muslim place of worship in culturally diverse east london not that they're happy to talk about it it's representatives refused to speak to us when we approach the prepares site home to their current mosque this is going to be a center of training in which to reach out to islam are always muslims to harden up and mediæval law is the islam of ordinary muslims in this country and i mean so many muslims don't want that muslims themselves are opposing this mosque more on the grounds that they don't want to worship their god but on the grounds that women aren't allowed the local population the muslim population has no. on the

side in how the mosque itself is governed it's a misguided but widely held fear of the fence which pits see the center eventually get off the ground all the local authority would say to us is. planning application as this is currently being. here at this stage in many ways if this went ahead to be like a tipping point. it would be no stopping fundamentalist islam if this one goes up well if that happens we all need to leave the country over the last one out please turn the lights off while the council ponders campaign is here religions they hope the decision makers choose carefully just today let's set up shop in the british capital. t. east london. or a terminus past three on a monday afternoon here in moscow out of the frying pan into the fire a humanitarian crisis for the residents who fled the libyan town of bani walid is

their own thoughts are. you know how right you are trying. from a good mark trying to. look good you could go back a week you probably want to go back to that you. were talking about iran. they are worried about what you're up there. but i do remember here on our two you can always go to our website to find out more stories pictures and analysis as well as a catch up on anything you may have missed on here's a quick taste of what's lined up for you there for this hour right now a golden mystery the russian cargo ship vanishes at sea while carrying seven hundred tons of pressure support other vessels and aircraft are searching the waters but have so far found no signs of wreckage or the missing crew. and statewide identity theft so far and steals three point six million social security numbers in the u.s. state of south carolina affecting three out of four the rest of us do stay with us

there were more news coming your way in just about. i never thought i could earn a living this way. natalee issue of i as a nominee she tests small arms so there's little else to machine building plant natalee also lost count of all the weapons she's fired over the past twelve years. i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the rifle range and i say no way i'm so tired of shooting. the plants history goes from making firearms doing world war two to ballistic missiles from your cool submarines during the cold war the bulk of the soviet industry was moved here in the 1940's to flee the advancing germans south here also became the heart of soviet military production

closed off to foreigners for half a century. it's thrived on the massive ludes of the soviet military when the u.s.s.r. collapsed but life here was shaken to the core but some adapted to better than others. this is the year old truck factory russia's number one truck made for girls a look at how well the workplace is organized everything's done to make sure the workers don't waste time waiting there was so production is booming the factory has largely managed to get on to civil rails these johnsons sold around the globe hit a base a brand new be the way to be delivered to clients seventy trucks like this once roll off the plants conveyor belt every day just look at about this things that absolutely huge. well i'm no formula one pilot but hopefully it if i can get up that. i can go for a test drive. oh

that was fun perhaps i should get one of these to travel to whatever in the morning was with a cost of about forty thousand dollars i should start saving my. own watches you every single day. and waiting for you to stumble. i soon man with a video camera so i moved over and he phoned me so. you know we realised there were following everyone from early in the morning. the only chance to get rid of him. is to reveal him.

the devil. on our cheek. it's good to have you with us here in. russia says its international partners shouldn't bad responsibility for the actions of the parties in the syrian conflict they support the statement from foreign minister sergei lavrov comes after a meeting with the u.n. and arab league envoy to the war torn country locked up but he me following the talks here in moscow what's going off now joining us live here on the program you go to it's good to see you would you tell us what else has been said during the

talks. well even though it was supposed to last just four days this ceasefire in syria has failed and now the question of everybody's lives is what happens next and according to russia's foreign minister said go off and special envoy mr brahimi they're placing their bets on there's an even communique which was signed by a global powers just both sides of the conflict to simultaneously put their weapons down but also for the international community to apply equal pressure on both of them and according to russia's foreign minister for from all countries which signs of this is women in geneva are fulfilling their obligations. but i see in the in the lead so you do russia is probably the only country among lose it booted the geneva tools a little again which negotiates with the series of the syrian conflict the government and all the opposition groups can use that and then we're expecting a western power in this to do the city going up as it's on the move. mr brahimi.

knowledge eyes to for the fact that the cease fire you proposed to did not work it was arranged for the force of the. sacrifice holidays was supposed to end today but where she was actually broken in the first day was an explosion in damascus then followed by a series of other blasts throughout the country we're actually getting reports of a new blast in the syrian capital on monday but now foreign minister and special envoy they say that it's not only the rebels who are to blame for breaking the cease fire. it's a. peace provocations all followed by reciprocal measures which are often casebook this is terrible and as we discussed today in the situation external forces must bear responsibility as a little hevia of those groups he saw in the country did they support. so very tough job ahead for mr brahimi is going to have to look for some sort of

diplomatic instruments to get these two sides to the negotiating table to finally put their weapons down right now it looks very likely that it could happen in the near future and actually mr brahimi explained why he thinks the ceasefire and didn't work he said that the a level of distrust between the two sides of the conflict in syria is so high that even when these start discussing some sort of terms even before negotiating the cease fire each side expects automatically the other one to break their promises why did you go to also has locked up or he was saying that his proposed four day cease fire was at first welcomed by newly everybody except certainly a few radical fronts one of the we know the al nasra front they rejected it so we're certainly certainly more work to be done with the ongoing conflict in syria has been off thank you. counting is underway after ukraine's.

parliamentary election with half the ballots counted the ruling party is in the lead but opposition parties have more votes in total however the current president's fate will ultimately depend on which alliances are formed in the new parliament. has this report the future of ukraine's parliament still looks pretty much uncertain as it stands the ruling party along with the communists are winning this election with the majority of the votes but the exit poll results which came out late on sunday suggested that the opposition parties may be gaining some kind of advantage in the future parliament and in that case things would be looking very grim for the ruling party and for the current president victory on the college because the opposition has been saying all along that it would impeach the president should it get a majority in parliament and why in one way or another still the biggest intrigue in the future parliament is who the former boxer the former heavyweight champion of

the world and his party will be joining in an alliance in the case that the ruling party does not get a complete majority in parliament that it will be will be the decisive figure if he decides to join the alliance of the opposition parties which are already signed an agreement to join you in the coalition in the future parliament things would go would go in a very much unpredictable scenario in the ukraine the parliament voting itself according to the domestic and international observers have been more or less free of any major force if occasions they haven't been cases of any major irregularities record but certainly there have been some hilarious incidents at polling stations with one polling station in a man disguised this walked into gas his ballot on another polling station in the town of protests of the man decided to eat his ballots instead of costing them so far this has been known basically the only things common for elections which have been seen at the polling stations no irregularities have been recorded certainly we are waiting for the official results to come out from the central action commission

of ukraine but that may take several. because there were as many as twenty million votes cast and certainly this may take some time to go into votes and we're expecting the final results to come out not earlier than wednesday this week it will certainly be bringing all the latest updates and all the latest results on the great parliamentary election as we get them. let's get some business here with our two years could appeal been good to see you traders over to wall street are being told to play hooky today indeed the trading has been suspended as a safety precaution for all the workers at the new york stock exchange on the nasdaq because of the hurricane that you've been talking about. the sound day and the trading may not resume in two ways if that's what's fate at the moment bankers have been told to work from home and this could potentially affect sixty million people in and around new york this is the first time that trading has been seized since september the eleventh the terrorist attacks of course were trading was indeed sandbags on the go in manhattan that way trying to eliminate the damage is

right now we've got barack obama and mitt romney they've been forced accounts of their costly campaigns as well in the city south the situation the moment european markets. well they're not being left alone if i'm honest because it's european insurance companies that it's taking a battering because of the potential damages that are expected from the storm. together. with the kind of cost of all this check out some current says because we'll be able to say that forex traders are also having a quiet that we've not really have much movement really as for the russian markets gas from shares are doing a bit better than the market the energy major has said it's interesting in developing oil projects are talking of the euro while the debt stricken year as i members tend to germany to help with the case european economy is not completely sure about its own financial safety the country has decided to check up on its gold

reserves maria and. check it out germany owes the world's second biggest gold reserves with a total of thirty four hundred tons worth billions of euros after the second world war the country's infrastructure wasn't up to him and was such a valuable hole of gold bars and then at the time of the cold war the fear was that it would be too risky to keep it right next to the hand of the r. and curtain but today both arguments are equally outdated second world war is a distant memory while more than twenty years have already passed since the fall of the berlin wall and germany's gold is still where it's been all alone in a recent tweet germany's own federal audit shows admitted the gold's never been physically checked by the buddhist bank the banks he'd back say they can be no doubt in the security of foreign deposits sites but some experts here in germany see the country's become a victim of its good relations with the un as gerry not to rock the boat and ask questions in case it shows

a lack of trust and take some of the golden shine off their friendship so no one here in germany can really be sure that the country responsible for bailing out its neighbors can bail out itself refreshen r.t. from frankfurt in germany next year and r.t. its pay to live l. and cross talk. do we speak your language as anybody will or not there. were news programmes and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news the alternative angles stories. or you hear the. choice of the spanish find out more visit actuality r t dot com. if you.
